Polypane 26 is here!

Emulate safe-inset-area variables and the small viewport height inside Polypane for the most accurate device emulation available.

Of course there's more, like improvements to inspection, measurement overlays, Chromium 140 and much more.

The chrome-devtools-mcp team made updates to it and to Puppeteer to better support Polypane (and other @electronjs.org apps).

Despite my general qualms about Generative AI, I think that's pretty cool!

Chrome-devtools-mcp allows you to connect coding agent like GitHub Copilot and Cursor to Polypane to inspect and get feedback across all your viewports.

Right after (experimental) support for field-sizing landed in chromium 120 back in December 2023 we immediately made good use of it in Polypane and wrote about it and the alternatives we used before:

It's too bad that end of 2025 it's still chromium-only.

field-sizing is wild. It's a new CSS property that makes input , textarea and select automatically scale to the size of their content. That means it…

Here's a cool photo that Polypane user Marcos sent us recently.

He has a Logitech Creative Console all decked out to quickly switch workspaces, layouts and to reload or open the command bar for more advances tasks. Such a nice productivity boost!

Should we make available a set of icons to use?

Only *cool* browsers contribute back to the platform. 😎
Can't wait to see how a company with a $600 billion valuation, that pushed out a new web browser, only for macOS, contributes some of their stacks of money back to the web platform.

Market research!

How often do you use one of those "what is my browser" websites (personally or sent to someone)?

Would you use one that isn't littered with ads or has a design from 1995? What features should it have?

What if you could also use it to collect info to emulate devices in Polypane?

This year, Igalia did some work to improve mobile-device emulation in @polypane.app by adding features to Chromium that could eventually improve Chrome itself, as well as API work to improve Electron. Learn more about the details here: www.igalia.com/2025/10/21/H...

Line numbers you say? 🤔
I don't often get nerd sniped * but I just added support for line numbers in @Polypane.app's elements panel after thinking it impossible for the past 5 years.

* okay like once a week. maybe twice.

New in Polypane 26: all our devices emulate the correct `safe-area-inset-*` CSS environment variables, as well as the correct small viewport height.

Toggle the visualization from the emulation settings to see where they're located. Like browser UI the svh overlay scrolls away when you scroll down.

Nerds. Als je websites loopt (*) te bouwen, dan wil je de boel testen in een hele goede, complete browser.

Daarom raad ik de browser aan van Nederlands beste browser-bouwer @polypane.app

Haven't praised @polypane.app lately so here it is. Such an awesome tool. I seriously can't imagine developing anything without it. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.

This was a tiny feature to implement, but I get so much value out of color coding the address bar depending on the domain I'm working on.
